Living in an Illegal Hallway Apartment in NYC…

- Would you rent one of NYC’s affordable Box-Apartments? What you lack in personal space is made up for by all the money you’ll save living like a true minimalist. These places are all in Manhattan New York City, which means they’re going to rent regardless…

Dude that church is St Malachy's, known as The Actors Church where you were standing in 1926 women from all over threw themselves into the street as Rudolph Valentino's coffin was being carried into the church. There is a huge basement with a giant kitchen that provides thousand of meals for seniors staffed by volunteers. I used to volunteer there when I lived in NY.
Thanks for your work!!
Cash is really not very bright or very educated, I am sorry to realize.
Before watching I’m going to go out on a limb and predict there’s nothing “illegal” about this apartment
You're right.
According to Cash all apartments in NYC are illegal 😂.
@NY Grl well, the rents are highway robbery. So expensive it should be criminal..so.
@@nygrl6102 ...the prices on these broom closets should be illegal.
He certainly never explains most titles. Still love the videos!
In the 1960s, when I was attending classes at 30 Rockefeller Plaza to become a computer programmer, that exact block was the closest free parking! At that time it was "the barrio". I'll bet the rents were a lot less then too. Amazing what gentrification can do.
The reality of working in the city:
1) You can get a great paying job and make your landlord rich by living in an updated shoebox with 3 other people so you can be close to all the places you'd want to get trashed or pick up trash at
2) You can get a great paying job and commute 4-5 hours a day
3) You can have a mediocre job, commute 2-4 hours a day, and hope to rise up but you waste decades working for employers who'd rather higher kids who have no commitments, who work longer, and use fancy buzzwords that simultaneously impress and intimidate the aging executives
4) You can work a crummy job and live on the fringe of the city where the trains don't run, the buses are always late, and some real estate developers are converting former slums and empty lots into luxury lofts for out-of-towners who recently landed some great paying jobs and your landlord is cashing in by increasing your rent 20% but your employer says there's no money for a raise this year, but so-and-so is getting fired and you're gonna take on their responsibilities, so if you do a decent job at both your own job and theirs, maybe they won't fire you or give you a pay cut
Did I miss anything?
Anyone in their 20's living alone in NYC obviously weren't taught about the time value of money. Putting that extra 2K/mo for 2 years into a market fund, at only 8%/yr growth would have grown into $220K in 20 years, assuming they contributed nothing more. Assuming they did the single Manhattanite thing for 5 years, that extra $2K/mo would have grown to $560K. Talk about opportunity cost.
That sums it up.
Uh oh, I’m fucked then.
Because I was going to move to New York at the end of this year since I’ll leave my legal assistant job in Virginia and apply to ones in NY.
I would mind having roommates
@@misterjayway If I got a job in NYC I'd check out living on Staten Island. I've heard it's a little cheaper there. Maybe.
Simply don't work in the city, and move to a better state 😂
I'm liking Alex as a recurring character in "The Cash Jordan Universe" - just a classic realtor ready to roll with the punches. He has good listings as well.
I like watching these and calculating how many times I can pay my mortgage for what a person would pay for just one month in rent in NYC
Right!! I guess everyone that lives in the city is rich 💰
"if you can make it there, you can make it anywhere"
@@alankovacik1928 If it's that hard to make it, I won't be trying it. 🤔🤭
I’m flabbergasted 😮 at the insane price for these rentals!!! I’m buying my home, & my payment is $500!!!
Yes but I'm betting you don't live in New York or California.
@@fightingtosurvive6527 and what’s so cool about living in New York or California ? Garbage cities, renting apartments there is the literal equivalent of burning your money
No apartment is worth $4500 a month. That's insane.
Ah, but when you divide it among ten roommates...
@@terryv Hahahahaha
What about 5750? Lol
True....All these are like flop houses though lol. I personally can't live with roommates
@@graffmixer Same here! So guys like us unless we are rich are stuck with renting a ridiculously small studio at best if we move there. No thanks. Lol
A table to sit and write your memoirs...love it.
New York is so insanely expensive! The mortgage on my mini-farm with 3 beds / 2 baths house plus garage/shop and barn is far less than the rent of the smallest apartment shown here.
Rooftop and outside decks are nice but remember you are paying for an area few will use in the heat of summer, cold of winter and stormy weather.
I think that if you get three days a year on the outside deck, you're lucky. Enjoy them while you can. Course three parties a year is about all anyone can take.
I remember last year I threw a party down my basement. I had to, he was getting obnoxious. He should be getting out of the hospital soon! Jk lol it's a joke. Lighten up, folks. Hahahaha.
The first apartment is legally only two bedrooms because the downstairs room has no windows. One of the upstairs bedrooms is the access to the deck and the other faces the sidewalk. The second apartment looks like fifth-floor walkup, and the two bathrooms off the living space inconvenience all four bedrooms equally. Three of the bedrooms are really small, but there is in-unit laundry. The last one has access to a nice roof deck.
That sounds nothing like the title. It should say something like “legally only 2 Bedrooms but possible 3rd in non-window hallway”. I was waiting to see something much different as described in the title.
@@lorilovesdragons Cash always does this with the headline. You’ll get used to it. He did show a gross, filthy, disgusting apartment once after he said he would. So I subscribed.
Thank you Bob, you're the hero we need, but I don't know if we deserve ya.
What I've learned about renting in New York is that no apartments are made for people over the age of 35 lol.
OR someone with knee problems..
So true!!! LOL
Lol I'm 24 but I'm afraid of those steep stairs to the roof deck. Just looks inconvenient
😂😂
Or people with a disability
The tour was a good time today. You make it fun with all the humor.😊
I liked the first apartment the best by a long shot. No shlepping up multiple flights of stairs, the bedrooms were nice-sized, and the outdoor courtyard was a major plus.
Watching from northern Canada. I would die from closterphobia but I love your channel. I've been a subscriber for a long time. I like to see how big city people live! It's fascinating😊🇨🇦
At 14:53 where he says he doesn't know what he'd do with that landing space, I'd put a bookcase against the wall perpendicular to the railing, an ikea Navlinge wall light on the wall or bookcase and a few floor pillows to make a little private reading nook. Thanks for the great videos Cash!
Excellent idea!
Definitely thinking the same - prime spot for a reading nook 📚
First place looks great! Love it when Cash gets recognized in the street while filming.
Back in the day the subway entrance would take you to The Siberia Bar, the only bar on MTA premises. Also, when NYC was weirder one of the other entrances was papered with Margaret Keane art.
Hibernia is the Latin name for Ireland. Good rule of thumb is that anything named "Hibernian" has an Irish connection.
All good. That first one is the winner with the outdoor space and bonus 3rd bedroom.
On that last apartment upstairs landing I'd put a fridge with all the tasty, frosty beverages and snacks I'm going to enjoy on that roof deck!
Excellent idea. Stuff it full of Diet Coke and Creters
Cash, your videos bring me a lot of happiness. I'm living vicariously through you. 😆
You're a funny man Cash. Thanks for all the great videos. That way I can see NYC without having to be there🤪
You are so great at what you do. How’s the family? Would love to see them more. Get your rest! God bless you Cash.
I really liked the first one! I don’t mind the bars, because it’s security. Plus it was still light in there. And the laundry was right there. 👍🏻
This is Gonna b so Insightful CJ🔥🔥🔥👍n Happy Tuesday😀….
If I’m paying $4500…I want my fridge to open the right way! I mean FFS 🤦🏻♀️
Wow. The rents are astranomical. Those are good old buildings, but one would need to be pulling in at least $12k a month for it to any sense just to be renter in NYC which might appeal to people in their 20's and 30's that probably don't even make $5k a month. When I was 30 fresh out of university some 20 years ago, I was trying to move to NYC and was going to take a $50k a year job with a nonprofit doing accounting, but saw the rents and cost of living would make it too stressfull so I didn't fill that job realizing it's a low paying job for that market. If I ever had a good paying job I wanted a mortgage I could afford, but not possible. America just isn't the land of opportunity it traditionally were, but we don't really have another country or I'd already jumped on that opportunity a long time ago since this just isn't very fun.
Moms kitchen is amazing!!! Need to get the bedrock pancakes it's fruity pebble pancakes with fresh berries and whipped cream topped with fruity pebbles! When we visited NYC we went there the first day and last day we stayed. So good 💜
Impressive clean, entrance hallway on the first building & 2bed & rec room in the basement, space for dining table upstairs also ! Second building hideous price for a 4 bed..roof access..so what.....the other 3 bed was better
The last 2 were a little worse for wear, though it looks like they're doing improvements. However, I love the views, I love the character, the layout...reminds me of a tiny house.
I live in a small town in Texas. So I find this fascinating. Thank you for the tour. 🤠
I loved the music in this video, just felt a different and special vibe!
There must be something wrong with me, I have never been bothered in the least by the so called "clickbait" titles. In fact, I find them humorous & it's also fun reading all the comments where people get so worked up about them. Someone here today actually said she is reporting him for his titles.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The first one, a bedroom could be made in the top area. The alcove at the end a closet space, and create a floor mattress. Put up a solid folding screen next to the railing for safety and privacy.
The second apartment, that space isn't conducive for such use, but it sure can be done on the first.
For windows and sliding glass doors on medicine cabinet wipe down tracks then run a white candle over the window or glass door where it meets the track, may need to run it along track as well.
The NYPD needs to go ahead and hire Cash what with all the "illegal" stuff he finds! Best detective in the city!! 😂🤣
Those painting in the laundry room are 100% paint night paintings!
Luv watching your videos, all the way from North East Scotland....🥰
The hornet was happily hilarious 😆. Worth the price of admission.
Thank you Cash Jordan: the future mayor of the Big 🍎
almost 400K viewers!!!! before long you will have a million and counting,,,,
That cheeseboat looks like something else. I can't quite put my finger on it.🤣😂😹
😅😅😅
If you do put your finger on it, you might lose the finger...
i was so glad to hear you call it a 'roach coach'! i have been out of NY for a while but i STILL call them that!!
Enjoy your cinematography!!
Hey Cash, Great video.
I've never heard you speak of garbage disposal 🤔 don't they have any?
How is the the new 👶 baby???? 🥰❤🥰
Very good point. Perhaps New Yorkers eat their garbage. They can't afford not to. What with the COL.
Cash! Dude keep off those fire escapes I got vertigo watching you.
Not inserting a Harry Potter joke for that closet under the stairs is CRAZY. 😂
6:58 i have never seen anything like that and i love it!
🤣 "...respect it together" hahaah the urgent care lol this guy's commentary can lift anyone out of a dark day haaha
At 14:50 you could put shelfs for storage on the walls up at that gallery.
"and everyone is so nice" lol alright😂♥️
It would be helpful if videos that have "Illegal Apartment" in the title contained a brief explanation of why the apartment is illegal.
I think what Cash is really saying is: There oughta be a law against the rents these greedy landlords are charging. What I do is substitute the word insane for illegal. Cash, you can correct me if I'm wrong about this. 👍
It’s the textbook definition of clickbait 👍
I know, right? Oh please, Mr. Jordan, don't show where the building is or the cops and city inspectors will come and shut us down. Or, probably not.
Just assume it's not in any way illegal.
@@jacksonmorganfroghin4815 It's a lie to get you to watch it. Same with the title that say things like "no one will rent it."
Cash does it again...😜🦫🏈✅️🇺🇸. yet another great video..thank you Crash...God bless you and your family.
With so many illegal places you find you're lucky to have agents show you these places. I'd love for you to check out places that are not so gentrified and see what illegal places really look like. If you can find the "Super" to even let you in; they likely don't have agents.
Hibernia means of Ireland. My friends own that place. Hang out some time! Great neighborhood. I love Hell’s Kitchen.
Lovely patio door handle😆.
I always laugh about if you can carry food on the stairs. It certainly depends on the person, I have lived in my house almost 34 years and have yet to fall on my slick ceramic tile stairs that came with the house. I met my current husband 8 years ago and he trips on those stairs every few months. We also have 2 wood stairs into the living room from the main level where the kitchen is located and my husband trips probably weekly carrying only a plate, bowl and beverage. I just expect it now but he doesn’t think that he’s a klutz. 😏
I raised a family in it and only had one person fall on the staircase. I grew up in homes with 2 levels and used to take the stairs 2 and sometimes 3 at a time, so that might be a factor. I do know that my husband drags his feet on stairs, since the wooden deck with stairs to the front door has the corners rounded with black marks from his work boots, which were never there prior to his moving in and probably contributes to his falls.
I broke my foot and gave myself a concussion from falling *up* the stairs that way - however, I only felt the need to do that once!
@@Tricia_K A neighbor fell down her 6 stairs and had a subdural hematoma and was found unconscious by her husband. She was transported to the hospital and sent home a few days later, supposedly fine. About a week later he found her deceased and was related to that fall.
Be careful on slippery steps. Ivanna died that way. Food can be carried up but in a bag, not with plate in hand.
@@tastx3142Oh, how awful, especially to be discharged so prematurely it seems - my condolences for your loss of your neighbour.
Thankfully I only kinda greyed out for a moment and didn't knock myself out completely, as I too was alone - though I did end up needing a number of stitches below my left eyebrow leaving a not-so-pretty scar, courtesy of my toes slipping off one of the steps and pitching me forward , bouncing my head off the edge of the top stair - ouch, ouch, ouch!
So ouchy in fact, that it was only when I tried standing up that I became aware of my broken foot, leading me to overbalance and only barely grab the bannister in time to catch myself from falling down the entire flight - and had my hands not been empty by this point...😳 So yeah - that was one lesson undeniably learned!
@@Tricia_K You were certainly fortunate not to have been injured worse. Head injuries happen to all ages during usual activities. A friend’s son, age 18, went to university and 6 weeks in he decided to join a pickup basketball game and woke up in ICU. He doesn’t remember what happened but apparently tripped on a curb, hit his head and blacked out. The kids he was playing with called for assistance and he was transported and spent the weekend in ICU. My FIL tripped down the 2 stairs from my living room and fortunately for him landed on top of my 90 pound German Shepherds. My dog was fine but my FIL had multiple lacerations on both arms and since he is on anticoagulants, bled everywhere. The dog was laying on a tile floor so saved my FIL from a worse injury. I was in another room and my poor dog hadn’t moved with my my FIL sitting/laying on top of her. I heard her initial yelp but she laid quietly while I had to slide her out from under him. My SIL removed the handrail on their long steep staircase which made me anxious. My staircases always double back so never can fall more than 7 or 8 stairs and since she lived out of town we would stay with her occasionally and have to carry our overnight cases up and down a wood staircase onto a wood floor. When they decided to sell, they were required to put in a railing, which made me relieved for the subsequent buyers.
Cats would love it !!!!!
Shoot $7495?? That one property is paying for someone house mortgage. Got to love Real Estate!!!
you are funny cash i live in Texas and i like to see the apartments 😁
If you want to live in The City, I mean *in* The City, this is the area.
Is Junior's only quite good now? I remember them being GREAT. But, of course, I was a kid then. Junior's Cheesecakes are a NY legend. We had some flown into Israel for a big get-together of Americans and Canadians in Israel some years ago. Yes, we were willing to pay to have them flown in.
I want that 3rd (secret) bedroom with its private entrance. Cool place for sure.
The subtle shit talk is hilarious 🤣🤣🤣🤣
oh man, the sink has THE SPRAYER!!!!
The outdoor entrance and patio needs major power washing!!
*10:21 OMG, poor Alex kicked the bucket! 😳 Figuratively not literally. I loved the second apartment at 450 W50th St. NY, NY Unfortunately, it’s the 5th floor in a “Walkup” Building! Yikes!
6:51 sink sprayyyyeeerrr 😀👍
There should be a drinking game where Cash fans take a shot every time he says "sprayer" .
I'm not sure what it is about that bathroom @13:41 but I would spend a LOT of time in there - is peaceful 🥰 🙌
I like the one with the garden
9:38 Nah man, don't risk yourself on those stairs. I would put a pulley on the ceiling and rig a dumb waiter to bring all my food and drinks up to rooftop level - that apartment is awesome!
OMG, first. Decent apartments in a cool part of town. I think that #3 is my fav.
The first apartment with the garbage collection in the building is a no for me. I can just see the rodents taking over. 😮
So… which one is an illegal hallway apartment??? I don’t understand some of your titles (would it help if I was from NYC?).
It's false advertising and alure to get you to watch..poor choice there.
7:40 . . . Sprayer, ALL RIGHT 😄
that is the most beautiful appartement i've seen so far since I am a fan and thats in my mind is what a NYC appartement is ;) Hiiiiii (i'll sleep on if I edit that). ..**ok no need to sleep on that, I'll add right now, if money is relative... XD
Every kitchen sink shown is smaller than the one in my RV, and some were the size of the one in my old sailboat. Not many turkey dinners being cooked in these tiny kitchens.
that was not solid water pressure in the first apt
I mean if you toss your food in a backpack you can make it up and down the stairs. Maybe come up with a pully system
just us a pokemon ball on it 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Don't forget to mention them 1 bedroom hallway... yup! that's a thing..lol
lol, "sit and write your memoirs"
That Cheeseboat sign 🤣🫢
I've watched your videos here and there for a while, how did I not notice your accent? I've seen maybe five videos.
These videos are so wild, I couldn’t imagine having to live in NYC.
So many sky lights leak especially in bad weather.I cannot live with roommates.The second one a high high price,
There is a great place on the corner of 46th and 8th.
Way tooooooo many people for me. It’s good to visit but I’m a rural gal…fun stuff and good eats but I love country style 👍🏼
I wouldn't throw away $4,500 a month and not have anything to show for it in the long run. $4,500 in my area can get you a one-bedroom house a front and backyard of decent size that can handle three big dogs running around comfortably and at the end of 16 months it's paid off. You own it you have it, it's yours. A one-bedroom one-bath laundry room kitchen dining room and living room with a front and backyard. And you can hear a pin drop a mile away it's so good quiet and peaceful at night.
I miss NY!!
It is illegal because it does not have windows for proper fire escape in some of the bedrooms. Also it does not have rails on some of the stairs and they are not wide enough.
Havent seen one illegal apartment yet. Time for some new click bait or get out of NYC 90 percent of the apartments are all the same.
Enjoying you channel
When he says “the kitchen may be small but you gotta remember this is a 3 bedroom for $4500.. what’s the point in living in New York? Who can afford that? 😬😬that’s almost 4 months of rent for me.
I liked all the apartments. All different but similar in a way. Nice job guys ❤️🖖
That cheese boat looks a lot like a taco. 😏
He alwaysays stuff like illegal to get to the watch to see maybe it really is evil and something really like wow you're getting away with it hahaha I enjoy watches his videos on the apartments n his growing family😍📷
I’d like to know what kind of job the people has to afford those kind of rent prices?
Holy Hell! How much money do you stock brokers make to afford a place in Manhattan?
